nah its official, I read that article awhile back. I usually dont let anything in gamedom piss me off, but now the thought of my cash going into his pocket, jus does not sit well with me,

I mean absolutely no respect for the consumer or even his employees? And we cyar blame piracy for this eh. This is GREED. Plain as day.

3 games im personally boycotting are Starcraft 2, guitar hero and modern warfare 2.

Other developers no matter their agenda not so boldface, arrogant and disgusting.

context people, context.

[UPDATE] Below is the question which prompted Kotick's response and his full answer, verbatim from the archived conference audio.

Jeetil Patel, Deutsche Bank Securities - Analyst
"What do you think the retailers' willingness these days is to hold inventory on the video game side? Are they building positions today or are they still very reluctant and very careful of how they are buying?"

Bobby Kotick, Activision Blizzard, Inc. - President and CEO
"I don't think it is specific to video games. I think that if you look at how much volatility there is in the economy and, dependent upon your view about macroeconomic picture and I think we have a real culture of thrift. And I think the goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks that we brought in to Activision 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games."

"I think we definitely have been able to instill the culture, the skepticism and pessimism and fear that you should have in an economy like we are in today. And so, while generally people talk about the recession, we are pretty good at keeping people focused on the deep depression."

The man is speaking at a Bank Technology conference. Guess what subject matter is of interest to that crowd? $$ and Cents. The world is full of passionate people who went bankrupt because they couldn't mind the numbers and profit margin. Nobody knows those statistics better than bankers. They see all the foreclosures.

If he was at an Xbox 360 console gamers convention, I'm willing to bet the discussion would be totally different.

Either way, if they make shitty games, they'll not sell. Period. The inverse is also true. Regardless if the CEO is a mc or not.

Gamers aren't mindless idiots.

Hmm wasnt that article per se that i was upset by, it was this one.

Irregardless of context, this statement was what had me pissed:

Thats my opinion, I never see it appropriate or healthy to instill such a culture in any organisation, but like I said thats my opinion, I could be wrong and tough to any who can't respect that.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #372 on:** October 25, 2009, 12:33:09 PM »

Fact is Laertes, those statements were made by him. That 'taken out of context' argument is a sorry cop out.

Some people seem to just refuse to see this issue for what it is: basically an attempt to force a new 'culture' on
an entire community, and wring every last dollar from that community. The fact that Mr. Kotick said those things just
confirms his overall strategy. That might be good for his shareholders, but not for me.

...and you know what? I've decided that I'm not even buying the console versions either.

IW, and by extension, Activision, can suck it.

Sorry MW2 but this will win out

HOLY SHEEEIT!!! That looks bloody AMAZING, and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that Xbox 360 gameplay?

Imagine how much sweeter it'll look on the PC. Not to mention, but it'll still have dedicated servers.

Honestly, i've never been much of a battlefield fan, but as mw2 is now out, this just may be the thing that replaces it.

Holy **** that gameplay video is a substantial improvement for BF:BC1...
I totally wrote this game off because of MW2 but I might have to rethink that and go with both o_O
